October's Child — Maison lyrics

Lyrics

On foreign beaches by the light of Harvest Moon,
I drank my sorrows, always fell too hard too soon.
I made a promise to the watchful stars above:
My next love would be different from the other ones.
Tall, dark, handsome, he’d say:
«Don't go, please stay forever.
Je suis votre maison.»
I searched the cafes for the eyes I’d dreamed about.
Failing recognition, homeless heart began to doubt.
Old inclinations tempted my resolve to slide,
But I held fast to my ideals, no compromise.
Tall, dark, handsome, he’d say:
«Don't go, please stay forever.
Je suis votre maison.»
Tall, dark, handsome, he’d say:
«Don't go, please stay forever.
I am your home.»
